I can find several family members whose information is either duplicated or incomplete, but I can't

Craig,
When you look at the record in FamilySearch the ID number is shown next their name. It's usually 7 digit/alpha number. Eg. 3F45-2H5. If you can find the ID number of one of your family I can look at the record and see what you mean. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you.

There are many places that you can find the 'FamilySearch Identifier' (PID) of "Deceased" individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' ...
.
Just some examples ...
.
Through the "Find" feature/facility/function ...
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/find/name
.
.On the individual's/person's "Person/Details" page/screen ...
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/MNBC-XRF
[ Not to mention at the END of the URL ]
.
.On the individual's/person's "Pedigree" View ...
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/landscape/MNBC-XRF
[ Not to mention at the END of the URL ]

.Now ...
That said ...

OR ...
.
Are you referring to the fact that you CANNOT find/see a 'FamilySearch Identifier' (PID) on a "Source" (ie. "Index" Record).
.
IF, that is the case; THEN, you will NOT ...
.
'FamilySearch Identifier' (PID) DO NOT appear on "Sources" (ie. "Index" Records).
.
'FamilySearch Identifier' (PID) ONLY get associated to "Sources" (ie. "Index" Records) when the "Source" (ie. "Index" Record) has been attached to (ie. associated with) an individual/person.

Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

What are ID numbers used for in Family Tree?
https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/what-are-id-numbers-used-for-in-family-tree
.
Where it states:
Quote
------------------
An ID number (identification number) is a string of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies a record in Family Tree. It consists of 4 characters, a hyphen, and 3 more characters. For example: K8LL-TGB.
.
An ID number:
.
- Shows on all tree views, on person cards, and on the Person page.
- Usually appears near the person's name.
- Is automatically assigned when a new record is created.
- Does not provide information about the person or the source of the information.
- Does not change for a given record.
In Family Tree, you can use the ID number to:
.
- Find records of deceased people.
- Find records of living people, if you added them. The records of living people are only searchable to those who have added them.
- Find the record of a deleted person and restore it if necessary.
- Link a deceased individual into a family tree.
- Merge records by ID number if you know the ID number of a duplicate that the system did not find. Both records must show as deceased.
.
Notes
.
- If you see the message that an ID number is invalid, it is no longer assigned to a record.
- When you search by ID number, you can enter the number in lowercase letters, with or without the hyphen.
- When you add a living person in your private spaces area, a unique ID is created. When another patron adds the same living person in his or her private spaces area, a different ID number is created.
- You cannot merge the records of a living person in your private spaces with the same living person in another patron's private spaces. You can merge records of a living person only if both records are in your private spaces.

I hope this helps.
